Wir waren heute mit Maquique Adventure beim Canyoning und hatten richtig viel Spaß! Die Tour war super organisiert und eine tolle Mischung aus Action und Natur. Die Guides waren freundlich, professionell und haben uns während der gesamten Tour gut begleitet. Die Landschaft war beeindruckend und das Canyoning selbst hat richtig Spaß gemacht – vor allem die verschiedenen Abseilstellen und Sprünge waren ein echtes Highlight. Eine tolle Erfahrung und definitiv eine Empfehlung, wenn man in Costa Rica Canyoning ausprobieren möchte! 🌿💦

Exceptional! One of the trip highlights. Great way to experience the rainforest. Such a great adventure. Super safe and fun. The guides were great company and very experienced. Lunch afterwards is classic Costa Rican food. 🇨🇷 water shoes are definitely recommended. If you drive yourself to the meeting point, be prepared for some narrow, steep, bumpy roads. They provide the photos and videos to download right after. ✅️

Had a BLAST canyoning with Maquique! The guides were fun, experienced, and made us feel totally safe the entire time. They help control the ropes quite a bit, so even if you are rapelling for the first time you feel totally safe and are never going down too fast. They also take awesome photos and videos that they send you at the end, so you can just totally immerse yourself in the experience. It was such a unique experience to go down all those waterfalls, zipline through the jungle, and trek through the rainforest as rain falls on the canopy above you. Such a memorable experience, that I would definitely do again and definitely would choose Maquique every time!

Our experience with guides Wardy and Alexander was genuinely magical and left a lasting impression on us. From the moment we met, their enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring we had an incredible time were evident. Wardy, with his infectious laughter and deep knowledge of the area, brought every story to life, while Alexander's calm demeanor and insightful anecdotes made us feel truly connected to the place. Throughout the tour, they never once hurried us, allowing us to savor each moment and immerse ourselves fully in the breathtaking surroundings. Whether it was stopping to take in a spectacular view or lingering a bit longer to savor more the experience their attentiveness made it clear they genuinely cared about our experience. Sharing laughs and learning in such a captivating setting was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the lunch exceeded all expectations. The meal was an exquisite blend of local flavors that delighted our taste buds and added another layer of enjoyment to our day. Reflecting on that day, it feels like a cherished memory we’ll hold onto forever, thanks to Wardy and Alexander’s exceptional guidance and warmth.

Cue the Mission Impossible theme 🎶 because this adventure is one mission you absolutely DO NOT want to miss! We had the most amazing experience canyoning down waterfalls, climbing, sliding, rappelling, and laughing our way through an unforgettable adventure. 🤩💦 But wait…your mission will be MUCH easier with Alexander and Wardy by your side! These guys were incredible—fun, encouraging, patient, and made the whole experience even more awesome. Ladies…they’re both single and looking for a girl, so BOOK IT NOW! 😂❤️ You get an epic adventure AND two handsome guides. What more could you ask for?! If you’re looking for an experience you’ll be talking about long after it’s over, this is IT! Mission accepted. Mission accomplished. 💦🏔️🙌

We got the combo tour and it was amazing. All the guides were helpful and knowledgeable in English whilst also teaching me about “pura vida”. The whole thing was planned out, I was initially worried about food, but they always fed us and it ended with a lunch at the restaurant we parked at. The canyoning was very fun, and don’t worry the guides are there to help you out and keep you from hurting yourself. The rafting was also very fun, the rapids made for an exciting trip. We also saw lots of wildlife like iguanas and sloths!

Our family of 5 aged from 17 yrs to 58 yrs thoroughly enjoyed our two activities booked with Maquique. We booked white water rafting and Canyoning/Rapelling on separate days. Both activities were thrilling and so much fun!! Our whole family loved them. The guides were brilliant, fun and informative and equally everything was very professional and felt very safe. At one point whilst canyoning it started to rain. The guides paused the activity and took us to higher ground to be safe but luckily we were able to carry on when the rain stopped. 2 very great days out.

Awesome experience! We took our 11 and 15 year old and everyone had a great experience. The guides were so friendly and helpful and clearly love what they do. They made us feel comfortable, especially our youngest child. We also love that photos and video are included and they were great. Pickup and drop off are also included and were excellent. 100% recommend.

The Thrill of a Lifetime in the Arenal Jungle! The Thrill of a Lifetime in the Costa Rican Jungle! This was truly the thrill of a lifetime! Canyoning and rappelling through the middle of the Costa Rican jungle, with the rain pouring down around us, made the experience even more incredible. Our guides were absolutely amazing—we felt safe the entire time, and they encouraged and cheered us on as we rappelled down beautiful waterfalls. From the adventurous drive up the mountain to the final zip ride into the canyon, every part of the experience exceeded our expectations. The scenery was breathtaking, the adrenaline was nonstop, and it was one of those mornings we will never forget. The free photos were such an added bonus and captured moments from what truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We finished the adventure at a local soda with a delicious Costa Rican lunch, which ended up being one of our favorite meals of the entire trip. If you are looking for adventure, incredible scenery, amazing guides, and an experience you’ll be talking about long after you leave Costa Rica, do this! We would recommend it in a heartbeat.
